When asked about receiving this award, Hubbard said, “This is truly an honor for me to receive especially as it is named for one of my mentors, Dr. Robert McCarthy.\u00a0 As for many faculty in our School of Pharmacy, our service activities especially outside the classroom, clinic and laboratory are directed toward students\u2019 growth, progression and recognition that they \u201clanded in the right place.\u201d<\/p>\n
